It’s actually kind of crazy. After the 10th ad I had to delete. ### 2/5 — Lives not generating *2025-09-13, version 1.0.0* First of all, the movement in the game is so slow. Easily the worst of all the different water sort games I’ve played. I could have finished levels so much faster if I wasn’t sitting there waiting for the tubes/vials to go back to their spots. But my bigger issue is this is the only water sort game I’ve ever played that takes away lives/energy even when you’re winning. So I bust through all my energy in 20 minutes and then went to sleep and when I woke up, 0 energy had generated. Seems like the app wants you to do a hard close for it to generate? That’s an insane design flaw ### 1/5 — Re-name the game *2025-08-16, version 1.0.0* You should name the game “ads” because there’s just as many ads as game play. 🙄 ### 1/5 — App needs to be optimized *2025-08-15, version 1.0.0* Ads after each play, must restart app to avoid it. The option to add a tube by watching an ad during a game stopped working after level 5.The statue/tube looking prize can't be used anywhere in the game..neither can the coins. A suggestion would be to add ad rewards for more energy, allow prizes to be useful or exchanged, and allow coins to actually purchase things like energy. The layout can be worked on but that's secondary compared to the bigger issues. ### 1/5 — All it consists of is ADS! Find another sorting game this one’s awful. *2025-08-13, version 1.0.0* It’s just ads you get through one phase (not level it’s by exp points not per stage you finish) and there is an ad. You can’t use the coins to get power ups you have to watch even longer ads there are ads on top of the screen and on the bottom and sometimes they even play sound while you are doing the sorting. I’m only on level two and I’ve been playing it for like a week if you are here from Swagbucks I’d find another game because this one is just absolute bologna. ### 1/5 — Full of Ads *2025-08-08, version 1.0.0* Definitely not worth the time… sooooo many ads! ### 1/5 — Need customer support *2025-08-05, version 1.0.0* I just paid 9.99 for no ads and it said my purchase was successful. Why am I still getting ads?? I can find no way to contact customer support other than an address in Singapore. ### 1/5 — App needs to be optimized *2025-08-02* Energy isn't reloading at the moment. Ads after each play, must restart app to avoid it. The statue/tube looking prize can't be used anywhere in the game..neither can the coins. A suggestion would be to add ad rewards for more energy, allow prizes to be useful or exchanged, and allow coins to actually purchase things like energy. The layout can be worked on but that's secondary compared to the bigger issues. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy the ad removal *2025-07-30, version 1.0.0* I bought the ad removal for $9.99. THERE ARE STILL ADS AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH GAME STILL! It’s a ripoff! ### 1/5 — Just don’t *2025-07-18, version 1.0.0* If you are here due to Swagbucks promo, don’t bother. Been working non stop for one week and only on level 8. I went ahead and bought the no ads package, but to progress through game you HAVE MORE ads. Every level you have to earn the level number times 1000. Unless I’m missing something, to get to level 40 you would have to earn 40,000 points. I have searched everywhere to see if I was missing some secret to the game, but there is nothing. Unless you just like sorting water and watching ads, don’t bother with this game. I’m done! ### 1/5 — Can’t be muted *2025-07-16, version 1.0.0* Ads and app just make noise anyways ### 1/5 — Not a fan *2025-07-14, version 1.0.0* There are waaaay too many ads! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Amount of ads are unreal *2025-11-11, version 1.0.0* LONG ADS! And so many of them! ### 1/5 — Not a Real Game, Just Ads *2025-11-03, version 1.0.0* You spend far more time watching ads then having the opportunity to play the game. ### 1/5 — Pass a level, win an ad *2025-10-22, version 1.0.0* Seriously! You win a level and you get an ad. I’ve only played three levels and already gotten three ads. The game isn’t interesting or fun enough to bother with sitting through an ad after each level. ### 1/5 — Ad-full *2025-10-08, version 1.0.0* You can beat a level within seconds and then must watch ad after ad. It’s disgusting. That is, until you reach o Halfway through level 5 and the game becomes impossible suddenly without warning. They take away all ability to earn another tube which makes it impossible. Spent all evening playing ONE level and couldn’t beat it. It’s rigged. Waste of time ### 1/5 — Boring *2025-10-04, version 1.0.0* Easy enough and ads are fairly short but vials are small, colors bland, game responsiveness and motion is painfully slow. Looks like the elementary program and design. ### 1/5 — Misleading and Frustrating *2025-09-11, version 1.0.0* I paid $9.99 for the “no ads” option, but the app kept showing ads anyway. Even after several days, nothing changed, and I had to request a refund through Apple. On top of that, the game became unfair after around level 8 — it stopped letting me watch ads to get extra vials, which are necessary to complete levels. It feels like the developers purposely made it harder to progress, especially since I was playing through Swagbucks for rewards. Very disappointing and misleading. I do not recommend this app. ### 1/5 — Rips you off exp *2025-09-10, version 1.0.0* I have hit the 50 extra ext point many times. It only adds 30 or 40 exp points. So it takes you longer to go up levels. Deleting asap. Sick of these rigged games. ### 1/5 — Worst ADS! *2025-08-31, version 1.0.0* The ads were so glitchy, they wouldn’t let you exit. I’d have to reload after every single ad. So, I paid the $10 for no ads, only to find that they charge you 5 energy to “skip” the multiplier. So, I paid money to get less energy/coins. And, insult to injury, I gave up and started watching some ads due to low coins, and those ads are still holding me hostage and forcing me to reload the game. Wish I could get my $10 back! Worst purchase ever. ### 1/5 — Zero stars *2025-08-21, version 1.0.0* Had potential, too many ads and then there is an ad on the main page that you can’t close EVER that blocks your energy bar and coin balance. Deleting after I submit this review. Won’t recommend either. ### 1/5 — Paid 9.99 for no ads *2025-08-18, version 1.0.0* Paid 9.99 for no ads option and it didn’t remove anything or reduce any ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2025-10-04, version 1.0.0* One of the best sorting game I have ever played ### 4/5 — It’s good *2025-07-31, version 1.0.0* I hope it gets more challenging ### 4/5 — Started today *2025-07-11* Great little game, but has SO MANY ads. Will update after I play a little longer. ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2025-09-07, version 1.0.0* Too many ads. ### 3/5 — Forever to level up *2025-08-20, version 1.0.0* Taking forever to level up went through 4 rounds still haven’t leveled up also an add after every single round driving me nuts ### 3/5 — Too many ads. *2025-08-18, version 1.0.0* But slightly addicting. ### 3/5 — Help about coin use *2025-08-13, version 1.0.0* Would someone please tell me what the coins are used for? I keep earning them but don’t see how to spend them. ### 3/5 — CHILL ON THE ADS *2025-07-06, version 1.0.0* Fun game, but there is literally an ad after every single level! Chill out! ### 3/5 — ad after every puzzle? *2025-07-03, version 1.0.0* yikes ### 2/5 — Ads! *2025-10-29, version 1.0.0* Way too many adds, way too often.
